Gabba (band)
Gabba is a London-based British tribute band performing ABBA songs in the stripped down punk style of the Ramones, a style of pop punk they dubbed discopunk and claim to have invented. They formed in 1996 and took their name in 1999. They have released one album . History Gabba was informally formed in 1996 by Stig Honda, alleged "professor at the Osaka Rock 'n' Roll High School", who enrolled five students from all over the world to fuse the disco pop of Abba and the punk rock of the Ramones, creating " disco-punk". In 1999, the band took its name of "GABBA, The Discopunk Sensation". The name is an acrostic on the members' nicknames, echoing both the "gabba gabba hey!" chorus from the Ramones' song "Pinhead" and the name of ABBA. Their second recording and official debut album, the CD ''Leave Stockholm'' (1999), was produced by Stigma Records (UK) and sub-distributed by Rough Trade Records.

"Gabba Gabba Hey" is a catchphrase associated with the American punk rock band the Ramones.

History The phrase comes from a scene in the 1932 motion picture ''Freaks'', in which the title characters chant the line "Gooble, gobble, we accept her, we accept her, one of us, one of us!" The Ramones saw ''Freaks'' at an art house cinema on a rare day off when an outdoor event they were to perform at was canceled due to bad weather. One of ''Freaks'' main characters is a microcephalic, or "pinhead", named Schlitzie. In Allan Arkush's film, ''Rock 'n' Roll High School'', during a Ramones concert at The Roxy, a character in a Schlitzie mask appears on stage carrying a large sign with the phrase "Gabba Gabba Hey".
